The Solar 'Magnifying Glass'—Spherical Solar Collector
The spherical collector also produces double the amount of yield of conventional solar panels, thanks to an additional feature in its design: Its dual-axis solar tracking system allows it to rotate according to the position of the sun, so that sunlight at any time of the day can be harvested.
Unfocused sky lighting could pass through to light the interior. Explosive bolts on the 'eyelid'
